Media Center

Laingsburg High School - Media Center

The mission of our library is to enrich the intellectual life of the school. Our library provides an organized collection of print resources, as well as access to a wide range of electronic resources. In addition to the extensive collection of research materials, we offer many choices for pleasure reading to encourage a student's reading habits.

MeL Databases

MeL databases and electronic sources are available here for home and school use for LHS students. Please ask in the Media Center for your home access password.

LitFinder provides access to literary works and authors throughout history and includes more than 130,000 full-text poems and 650,000+ poetry citations, as well as short stories, speeches, and plays. The database also includes secondary materials like biographies, images, and more.

Hours

The library is open every morning at 7:30 until school starts and everyday for an hour after school. The library also is open the entire day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 1:00 P.M to the end of the school day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Checkout Policy

Students may check out up to two books, with report books being the exception. Students have the books for two weeks, but they may be renewed as needed.

Students may check out books during their lunch hour, between classes, before and after school. During classes, students may visit the library with a pass from their teacher.

Computer Lab

The lab of 30 Macintosh iMac computers is available for teachers to sign out for their classroom use throughout the day. In addition, students may access the computers before school, during lunch hours, and after school or during times when the Media Center is open and no class is in session.
